Gentlemen,
I am interested in the Grizzly G0720R. I know its more $$$ than their other models and maybe that's why no one seems to comment on them.
Why do I like it? Variable speed, motorized headstock, tapping capabilities. But, I am fearful of the dreaded "plastic gear" issues like the 0704, plus I just have no information other than what's in the catalog.
At $ 3,295.00 its definitely pricey! I think I would be just as happy with the G0761 (less complicated) except for not having the motorized headstock. Is a motorized headstock really something to put very much consideration on? Is DRO possible on the G0720R without major surgery?
I would rather "buy once and cry once" than have regrets about a purchase. My real regret is that I can't buy a machine like this that's made in the USA. But, that's another conversation. This will be for hobby and learning purposes in my home shop.
Thanks so much in advance for your comments.....Lord knows I need them
